Hmm, looking at the code, --version is just aliased to --help.  That'd
be just about OK, except that --help doesn't show the version number
anywhere.

This isn't a new fault - it has been there since at least 0.7.4 - I suspect
it's probably always been that way.

I'll fix it.

In the meantime, the easiest way to see what version you have is
probably to look at the corresponding omindex version - they're
installed by the same "make install" command, so it's highly unlikely
they'd be out of step.
